Description
This is a course in advanced survey techniques using GNSS, robotic total station, and scanning technologies. Field labs will emphasize fundamentals in point collections, point collection with offsets, continuous point collections, point & line stakeouts along with .dxf and DTM file stakeouts. Additional techniques in topographic mapping with codes, OPUS control, robotic leveling, measuring rounds and "basic survey" routines will be presented. Scanning technology will be used and point clouds created in Trimble TBC. Equipment maintenance such as field collimations and calibrations will be performed. Prerequisite: CET 120, MATH 116 or MATH 120
